Need a chunk of piss elm? I need to count the rings on the one my parents had taken down. Two main trunks, I'm standing on the largest one. Tractor ain't going to lift it, Dad already tried.

.

Dunno if it's the same kind of elm, but the stuff I milled was kinda purdy.

Levi had 1 cabinet that was stand alone and didn’t come with a top..
So Lisa and I made one..
It’ll do for a while.

Biscuit join them? Waterfall joint would be good, too.

 

[Mastermind]

I need a jointer..

It’s on my list now.

Come to Tennessee and I'll let you look at mine.

 

[WoodAbuser]

Is that fer scalpin' stuff?

I think it's more for throwin. It would need to be sharpened to do anything with it. Must have only been for display. No fun in that.

 

[Hedgerow]

Come to Tennessee and I'll let you look at mine.

I’ll see you next October..

 

[Hedgerow]

Or maybe earlier..

Nope..
Planer and glue them with tight bond.

 

[Hedgerow]

Just for the record, I don’t do anything the right way..

I do *s-word that presents itself.. sometimes it don’t work.. but sometimes it does..

 

[Mastermind]

I’ll see you next October..

Or maybe earlier..

I'll be here.

Propositioning people in two threads now? Kinky. Take some pictures for Dallas. Come to Missouri and you can get some rental pigs from @Sawdust Man as well.

That looks like one of the native species of elm. Heartwood on these is more brown rather than red.

I concur with Matt, that looks to be a Siberian Elm. Did it have a light colored streak running down the bark ?


They are plentyful around here, most folks call them Chinese Elms but from my research they are Siberian. I have had several people try tell me that they are Red (slippery) Elm. Especially if they see them or the rounds with no bark.

I will defer to you on wood identification because you are far more familiar with it than I am.

That’s definitely a nice pattern.

Those stains & heartwood look like the poplar/box elder I have seen around here.

I know different regions produce different grains & stains in the same type of trees. I also know that different cameras can produce different hues/colors.

It’s always interesting what color’s & patterns a log presents when opened up.

I'm no expert on tree ID in the Midwest by any means....
It had very elmish looking leaves, not winged elm which is the most common down here.

I once cut a cottonwood thinking it was sassafras.... so there's that.

 

[Hedgerow]

I cut a lot of elm..

I have yet to find a Red Elm in our neighborhood..

They say their around, but rare as hens teeth..

In fence rows it’s mostly American Elm, in yards, intentionally planted, Siberian Elm.

Really not sure which you had on the mill, but it sure didn’t look like Siberian..
So your guess is as good as mine.

It was a "woods tree", not a yard tree, so I'm assuming a native of some kind.
